Rheumatoid Arthritis (c)

S. Surjit Singh, a young married man was crippled with the disease. The disease had started from the small joints of the hands and had progressed rapidly to involve the hip joints. The hip joints were damaged and needed replacement. His replacement would not have arrested the disease and the disease is known to be progressive. He stopped going to the factory and his house was in ruins. He came in contact with the members of the mission who had asked him to attend the evening programmes of the mission. His life changed, he felt happy and started getting up and walking. His disease came under control. He had his hip replacement done and the way he recovered quickly baffled the senior doctors. He is living a productive life now and he is very grateful to the members of the mission.
